BOA-2.2.2 Barracuda Edition

We are happy to release BOA-2.2.2 Barracuda Edition, which includes only bug fixes to address known security issue with OpenSSL and a few issues discovered after recent major BOA-2.2.0 and BOA-2.2.1 Releases.

### Stable BOA-2.2.2 Release - Barracuda Edition
### Date: Tue Apr  8 07:24:18 PDT 2014
### Includes Aegir 2.x-boa-custom version.

# Release Notes:

  This is a bug-fix only release to address issues discovered after recent
  major BOA-2.2.0 and subsequent BOA-2.2.1 Releases.

  The most important problem fixed in this Release is related to known OpenSSL
  security issue, which has been fixed in OpenSSL 1.0.1g

  To learn more please visit: http://heartbleed.com

  @=> Note for those on self-hosted BOA (skip this if you are on a hosted Aegir)

  We recommend that you enable _SSL_FROM_SOURCES=YES option in your system
  /root/.barracuda.cnf file, to always build latest OpenSSL from sources.
  Note that it will also trigger OpenSSH and cURL install from sources, plus
  subsequent PHP rebuild to include latest SSL libraries.

  Note that _SSL_FROM_SOURCES=YES will not force the build from sources on
  Debian Wheezy and Ubuntu Precise, to avoid confirmed conflicts and because
  both OS versions already provide custom, patched OpenSSL packages.

  This Release doesn't include any updates to the Octopus installer, so there is
  no point in running full upgrade. It is enough to run the barracuda only,
  system upgrade in the "silent mode" with:

  $ screen
  $ barracuda up-stable system

  The system will send you an e-mail with results when the upgrade is complete,
  but there will be no upgrade progress displayed in the console. You can watch
  it, if you prefer, with command (DATE/TIME are placeholders for real values):

  $ tail -f /var/backups/reports/up/barracuda/DATE/barracuda-up-DATE-TIME.log
